MEXICO CITY -- It is a good time to be in the renewable energy business in Mexico since landmark energy reform opened up the electricity market and prioritized renewables. The government has an ambitious 12-year goal for renewable energy production‚ and private equity funds and development banks have millions of dollars ready to allocate to clean energy. “There is a huge potential for exploiting renewable energy in Mexico‚” says Guillermo Gutierrez of BK Partners‚ an investment management firm

sun’s contribution to human energy needs is substantial — worldwide‚ solar electricity generation is a growing‚ multibillion dollar industry. But solar’s share of the total energy market remains rather small‚ well below 1 percent of total energy consumption‚ compared with roughly 85 percent from oil‚ natural gas‚ and coal. Those fossil fuels cannot remain the dominant sources of energy forever. Whatever the precise timetable for their depletion‚ oil and gas supplies will not keep up with growing energy

The invention on renewable energy has not only provided an alternative energy resource but has also come with great environmental and socio-economic impacts. Global warming‚ caused by emissions from fossil fuels‚ has become a major threat to the world today. In order to counter this challenge and the other problems associated with fossil fuels‚ there is need to embrace the use of renewable energy sources. However‚ not all technologies that are employed in renewable energy production are appropriate

What is a renewable source of energy? Energy is essential for life. We use it in factories‚ in cars‚ airplanes‚ trains and ships. To heat food‚ light our houses etc. However‚ energy consumption is different in different countries. Since always human beings have used energy sources to do work or produce heat. Firstly‚ they used domestic animals or their physical forces. After‚ they used the wind and the water. Then‚ they exploited the use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy. In the near future we

From using cars and electricity in our homes to getting our products at our nearest retailer‚ we use a large amount of energy. With the rise of energy consumption‚ due to our lifestyles‚ there have been more and more ways of alternative energy production to be able to keep the same lifestyle without having to use the limited resources. One way that has had a good progress is using wind power. Wind power has

This is because of instantaneous electrical generation and the consumption must remain balanced at all times to ensure grid stability‚ this variability creates substantial challenges when a large amount of wind energy is integrated into an electrical grid (Hirth and Ziegenhagen 2015).
